SCHEDULES TO WHICH THIS ACT REFERS. -s 9 THE NEW REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS. The following is a copy of a circular letter which has been issued to the clerks of the Boards of Guardians throughout the country : " Poor Law Commission Office, Somerset House, August 27, 1836. " SlR—The Commissioners of Poor Laws for England and Wales re. quest you to call the immediate attention of the Guardians to the lm. portant public trusts with which the Legislature has invested them by the provisions of the Act of the 6th and 7th William IV., cap. 86, for the establishment of a registration of births, deaths, and marriages in England ; and also of the Act of the 6th and 7th William IV., cap. 85, for the regulation of marriages in England, which Acts received the Royal Assent on the 17th instant. " The Commissioners have directed that is copy of each of these Acts shall be herewith transmitted for the information of the Board. " On reference to the 7th section of the Act for the establishment of a registration of births, deaths, and marriages, it will be perceived that the duty which first devolves upon the Guardians is to divide the union into such districts as they may deem the most convenient, and as the Registrar-General may approve, to be registrars' districts' for the registration of the births, deaths, and marriages which may take place within them. " It will be perceived—(l) That the division into districts must be made—(2) The districts named, and—(3) A statement of such proposed division forwarded to The Registrar-General of Births, Deaths, and Marriages,' for his approval, on or before the Ist day of October next. " The other duties (in relation to the last-named Act) with which the Guardians are invested are less pressing as to the time of their perform ance ; but the Commissioners now advert to them because the conside ration of the appointments of the local registrars may, to some extent, influence the determination of the proper districts for registration. " In case you, as the clerk to the board,should not yourself think fit to undertake the office of superintendent registrar of the district, or should not be deemed to possess the qualifications which the Registrar General may, by any general order, declare to be necessary, or in ease your ap pointment should not be approved by the Poor Law Commissioners, it will then be the duty of the Guardians to appoint some other person who possesses the requisite qualifications to be the superintendent registrar. " It will next be the duty of the Guardians to appoint persons to be registrars for each of the registrar's districts into which the union sha have been divided. " Each person appointed as a local registrar must possess such qualifl. cations as the Registrar General may by any general rule declare to be necessary. If the person appointed as registrar by the Guardians be an officer of the union, his appointment will be subject to the approval of the Poor Law Commissioners. " The duties of the registration of the births, deaths, and marriages (which it is expected on the average may be about twenty-nine births, nineteen deaths, and seven marriages, in every thousand of the popula tion), will not in general suffice to occupy more than a small portion of the time of any person within a district of convenient distance from the local registrar, or from the superintendent registrar, and the probable emoluments would be inadequate to obtain the exclusive services of a person properly qualified; as the duties may also, in general, be conve niently performed by the paid officers of the union, from the tenor of the Act it is suggested that it was the intention of the Legislature that the several offices should be performed by the paid officers of the union, where no obstacles to that arrangement exist. " The Commissioners trust that when the time arrives for making these appointments, the Guardians will appoint those officers whose ordinary duties are the most consistent with the duties of regis tration. It appears by the schedule (B) appended to the afore said Act, that the Legislature has declared that in the registration of deaths, the cause of death shall be recorded; it is evidently impor tant that this record should be made with care and exactness; and for this purpose the Commissioners consider that the public would derive advantage from the duties of the office of registrar being per. formed by a medical officer of the union, when those duties are not in. consistent with his engagements, and he may be disposed to perform them. " These officers will be the better qualified to perform these duties, amongst other reasons, from having been accustomed, in pursance of the orders of the Commissioners to keep a register of the sickness and mortality amongst the classes in receipt of parochial relief, in which re gister it has been prescribed that the known or supposed cause of the disease and death shall be recorded. " Where the medical officers may decline accepting the office of regis trar, it appears to the Commissioners that the class of officers next best qualified to perform the business of registration are the collectors of the poor.rates appointed by the Board of Guardians. " The Commissioners are of opinion that where paid collectors are appointed, or may ba appointed, to collect the rates for the union, those officers will, as compared with the relieving officers, possess superior qualifications for the performance of the duties of the office of registrar, inasmuch as the business ofcollection, with occasional and comparatively rare exceptions, requires them to visit every house in the union, and in the occasion of such visits gives them opportunities of making inquiries with relation to the business of registration. The duties of the Collec tors arc in other respects regular, and it is also their duty to make en. tries, as collectors, with exactness and regularity, which are the qualifi_ cations of a registrar " Where any medical officers are willing to accept the office of re gistrar, and an appointment is made from the officers of another class, the Commissioners request that the reasons for the preference may be stated to them, in order to judge of their adequacy, as grounds for the approval of the appointment. So also where the paid collector of the rates of the union is willing to accept the appointment (the medical officers being unwilling), but a preference is given to an officer of another class, it is requested that the grounds of the preference should be fully stated. " Where paid officers of the unions are appointed as registrars, it is desirable that registrars' districts should as far as possible be made coin cident with the district of the officer appointed; that being usually a district traversable from one extremity to another in the daily perfor mance of the duties of the office. Each district must, however, be made coincident with known boundaries, such as those of parishes, townships, or hamlets. " The Commissioners have met ely indicated such arrangements as it appeared to them would be found most conformable to the business of the union, and to the attainment of the objects of the Legislature, as ;I gards the business of registration. " You will obtain by reference to the Act itself, the requisite infor mation as to the particular duties of the officers, and as to other material points, which do not come within the province of the Commissioners. " Signed, by order of the Board, EDWIN CHADWICK, Secretary. " To the Clerk of the Board of Guardians." The following is a copy of a letter from the Secretary to the Poor- Law Commissioners, in answer to an inquiry as to the formation of temporary districts for registration : " Poor-Law Commission Office, Somerset House, ISt6. " In reply to your letter of inquiry with relation to the appointment of local registrar, the Poor-Law Commissioners for England and Wales direct me to state that wherever there is any immediate prospect of any parishes which arc not placed under the control of a Board instituted under the Poor-Law Amendment Act, being in the course of the pre. sent year included in an Union, it will not be conducive to the objects of the Legislature to form temporary districts for registration, or appoint officers, or make other arrangements which must be superseded when the parishes are placed under the control of Boards of Guardians. " ' The Commissioners will not, therefore, exercise their power of ap pointing local registrars until, from the progress made by their Assis tant Commissioners, it should appear that the public business would be more impeded by the delay in the formation of Unions, than by the change of the arrangements when the temporary districts and the tem porary officers shall be snperseded by the paid officers of the new Unions. I have the honor to be, Sir, " Your very obedient servant, "EDWIN CHADWICK, Secretary. ~• " The Commissioners are unable to inform you as to the time at which any proceedings will probably be taken with relation to the district for which you propose yourself as a local registrar." NEW ACT for the REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS, MARRIAGES, and DEATHS. The following eireular letter was on Saturday received by the clerks to he Board of Guardians in the metropolis from the Secretary to the Poor Law Commissioners; and it has, no doubt, been transmitted to the Clerks of the other Boards of Guardians formed under the Poor Law Amendment Act throughout the country : " Poor Law Commission (Mee, Somerset-house, _ " 9th September, 1336. " Sir,--The Poor Law Commissioners for ' England and Wales transmit to you herewith a letter addressed to you by the registrar. general, respecting the formation of registrars' districts, which they trust will receive the same prompt attention which you pay to the com munications from this office. The Commissioners request that whether you do or do not accept the office of superintendent-registrar in your union, and whether the union officers are or are not eventually appointed registrars, the union officers and yourself will give every possible assistance in carrying into effect the directions of the registrar-general, and the object of the Act under which he is appointed. " Signed by order of the Board, "EDWIN CHAD WICK, Secretary. " To the Clerk of the Board of Guardians.'' " London, Sept. 9, 16536. " ' Sir—ln the recent Act of the 6th and 7th of William IV. c , p. 86, for registering Births, Deaths, and Marriages, in England, it is enac ted, " That the guardians of every Union declared under the provisions of an Act passed in the sth and 6th years of his present Majesty, in tituled an Act for the Amendment and better Administration of the Laws relating to the Poor in England and Wales, and also of every parish or place in which a board of guardians shall have been esta. blishecl under the provisions of the last-named Act, shall on or before the first day of October in this year, if the said board of guardians shall have been established before the passing of this Act, or within three calendar months next after the establishment of the board, if the said board shall not have been established before the passing of this Act, di vide the union or the parish or place of which they are the guardians into such and so many districts as they, subject to the approval of the registrar-general, shall think 110 And it is further declared, " That every such district shall be called by a distinct name, and shall be a re gistrar's district." 14 I n requesting you to call the attention of the guardians to this first duty which devolues upon them, under the provisions of the aforesaid Act, I deem it expedient, with a view to the prevention of future delay, to point out the nature and extent of the information respect ing such proposed divisions, with which I must be furnished before I can feel justified in expressing either approval or dissent, and to convey to you certain principles which it is desirable should as far as possible be observed in the formation of registrars' districts. " I request that the statement. respecting the formation of regis trars' districts, which must be submitted to me for appproval on or be fore the Ist day of October in thepresent year, may contain the following particulars respecting each proposed district 1. Ai:tisk—State the numbrr of acres or of square miles contained in the proposed district, or, if no such measurement has been made, state the extreme length, and the extreme and mean breadth. " 2. Po Ptn.wrzos.—State the amount of the population, according to the census of 1831, adding the present number, if known, or the computed ratio of increase since 1831. 3. Bouxn Annas.—Describe the proposed boundaries of the registrar's district, stating whether they coincide wholly or in part with any ancient recognised boundaries, such as those of township, parish, hundred, or county; whether they intersect any such boundaries ; or whether they lie wholly within them. " State, also, whether such proposed district coincides with any me. dical or relieving district of the Union in which you officiate, formed under the provisions of the Act of 4th ar.o sth of Wm. IV., for the Amendment and better Administration of the Laws relating to the Poor in England and Wales. " State, also, whether any portion of the proposed district is detached. " 4 * IC4 roa•—State the distinguishing name by which the guardians propose the registrar's district shall he called. " It is requested that a statement respecting all the foregoing cir cumstances may be made separately for each registrar's district into which the union or the parish or place may be divided by the guardians established therein ; and that the statements respecting all such districts in the union, & V., Re gistrar General o f Births, Deaths office, , and Marriages," at his oce,ler may be sent together by the post, directed to the London. It must at the same time be stated that the foregoing distr i cts t og ether form the whole union or ”arish or place, and that no part of it is ex eluded from such districts. " 11. It is mY wish th a t the gua rdians, in proceeding to the forma tion of registrars' di stricts, should not be unnecess arily fettered in the i exercise of their judgment, or be diverted from a due attention to local peculiarities, by the supposed necess ity o f adhering rigidly to a prec:se rule; but, inasmuch as it is desirable that uniformity of system, in so far as it is practicable, should be attained, and that the chance of disap proval, and of the delay and trouble consequent thereupon, should, as much as possible, be diminished, I deem it expedient to lay before you certain principles, the observance of which will conduce to the de sirable attainment of that uniformity, and to the avoidance of those in conveniences. " In determining the proper extent of a registrar's district, it is de sirable that area and population should be considered conjointly, and earls with reference to the other; that, when the population is dense, the area should be proportionally contracted ; that when it is thinly scattered over the country, the territorial extent should be proportionally increased. The evident object of such a rule is to equalize the labours of the regis trar ; for it is obvious that the births and deaths in a population closely congregated within a town may be ascertained and register et by one per son with more ease and certainty than those of half the same amount of population thinly scattered over an extensive tract of country. " ' With respect to the amount of population which a registrar's dis trict may comprise, I ant not disposed to require a very strict attention to number. But I may state that when the population is of average den sity, that district may be regarded as well adapted to the purposes of registration which contains about five thousand persons. It is true that such a district (in which the entries of births and deaths will not amount to three hundred in a year) will not fully occupy the time and attention of a registrar ; but it must be remembered that the registrar will not be a person occupied exclusively with the business of registration ; and that it is of importance, not so much to ascertain the utmost that a single registrar can perform, and to assign such a district as will fully employ him, as to take care that neither the extent of territory, nor the amount of population under his supervision, shall render it probable that any birth or death can remain unnoticed. " With respect to the boundaries it is desirable, both with a ♦iew to facilitate the knowledge of the limits of the new district, and to avoid a multiplicity and intermixture of divisions, that the boundaries of the registrar's districts shall (when it is practicable, consistent with the at tainment of other objects) be identical with ancient recognised bounda ries, such as township or parish, and shall not unnecessarily intersect them; but it is not desired that the limits of a district should be much extended in order to make it coincident with any such ancient boun dary. Facility of communication is of still greater importance than ad. herence to an ancient boundary ; and compactness and connection of territory must not be sacrificed for the sake of such adherence. Thus, for example, a river extending far, without ford or bridge, may with propriety be made part of the boundary of a registrar's district, although the parish, of which that district is a part, may not terminate at that boundary. It is also expedient that a registrar's district should invaria. bly be one connected portion of territory, and not consist of two or more detatched portions. "`Although it is advisable that the consideration of the immediate duty of division into registrars' districts, and that of the subsequent duty of selecting fit persons for the office of registrar, shall as much as po~i:ible be kept distinct, yet it is right that your attention should be directed to the 16th clause of the Act for Registering Births, Deaths, and Marriages, which enjoins that every registrar shall dwell within the district for which he is registrar. This provision should not be forgotten in the formation of registrars' districts ; and as it is obvious that the same registrar cannot be appointed for more than one district, it is de sirable that each district should contain persons whose characters for intelligence, diligence, honesty, and regularity of conduct, and whose ability to write and keep accounts with neatness and accuracy, may render them, in the opinion of the guardians, capable of fulfilling the duties of a registrar. Of the nature of these duties the guardians may be sufficiently informed by inspection of the Act for Registering Births, Deaths, and Marriages. " ' It is recommended that the name by which the registrar's district may be called shall be that of the parish or township, or of the largest of two or snore parishes or townships contained in it ; or if two or more districts shall be contained within one parish or township, then that each shall be called by the name of some street, building, or place within each parish or township; but that, invariably, the name given shall be that of a place, and not of a person. .„ . _ " ' It is desirable that the letter including a statement respecting the formation of registrars' districts should refer exclusively to that subject. There will be other subjects on which it will be my duty to address you, which must be reserved for subsequent communication. _ _ " If, before the receipt of this letter, you shall have already trans mitted to me a statement of division into registrars' districts, as proposed by the board of guardians, and if such statement contains all those parti. culars herein required, and if such proposed division has been made in conformity with the general principles herein expressed, and is one which the guardians do not propose to alter, I do not request that the state . ment shall be made to me again, but only that, in reply to this letter, you shall notify the fact and period of such previous transmission, and inform me that such statement previously transmitted is that which the guar dians adopt as their final statement to be submitted for approval. If these particulars have been given only in part, it is requested that the remaining information may be afforded to me with as little delay as possible. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " T. H. LISTER, Registrar-general.' " On Wednesday evening, whilst Mr. Macready was in the dressing-room of the Theatre, preparing for the per formance of Virginias, the person who attended him requested, with seeming solicitude, that " he would be careful about leaving his watch and purse in a place of safety, as Mr. Gold smid had been most unaccountably robbed of a .5/. note in the same room a short time before." Mr. Macreadv thanked the fellow, and was about to say that there was something of value in his carpet-bag, but he luckily said nothing about it. On returning to change his dress, at the close of the tragedy, he discovered that his watch and purse (the latter containing four or five sovereigns) were missing, and, still more strange, his anxious monitor was nowhere to be found. As he was not seen to leave the Theatre by any of the regular outlets, it is supposed he escaped with his plunder through a side door leading through a beer-shop into the High-street, and gas not since been heard of. —Cheltenham Chronicle. THE POTTERIES.—We understand the Potteries are in a state of much excitement in consequence of the work men having turned out, within the last few days, at seventeen or eighteen manufactories, in which were employed, at a mo derate computation, it is supposed, from .5,000 to 6,000 hands, who received upwards of 3,0001. weekly in wages. Messrs. Copeland and Garrett, Messrs. Ridgway and Co., Messrs. C. Mason, and Messrs. Baker, are amongst the number of those whose manufactories arc stopped. The matter in dispute arises from the pi °posed mode of hiring for the ensuing year, which commences, according to custom, at Martinmas. The masters deem it necessary to adopt some precautionary mea sures to protect their interests in future from the effects of such combinations as have prevailed to a great extent amongst the men during the present year. The men, on the other hand, stipulate a mode of hiring, whereby they conceive their inte rests will be protected and secured. Thus the parties are at issue, and the result is awaited with much anxiety.— Sta f ford Advertiser. A singular instance of marsh miasmata lately oc curred at the village of Parson Drove, near Wisbech, and was happily confined to the village. A thick exhalation was ob served by the harvest labourers to arise from the fen about four o'clock in the morning, which continued to grow more dense till about seven, when it had become so thick and dark that the teams going in opposite directions came in contact, and great confusion ensued, as persons could not see each other at ten yards' distance. In short, the labourers were completely stopped till about eight o'clock, when the exha lation passed off, and the day broke out clear and warm. It entered the houses like thick smoke, and left the floors and furniture covered with animalculw. An eye-witness remem bers a similar phenomenon about 27 years back in Marshland, when the stock, being frightened, ran into the dykes. The Scotch smacks have invariably been noted for being good sea-boats, and making quick passages, and very deservedly so, for the owners have always appeared to vie with each other for good vessels; but we have seldom had an op portunity of mentioning such good voyages as we new have, viz., the Dundee smack Elbe, John Martin, master, made her passage from Dundee to London in fifty hours ; and the Union, A. Joiner, master, came from Banff in less than se venty-two hours. Both these vessels arrived on Tuesday.

" Those journals confirm the defeat of Lopez by Gomez. Madrid has been considerably alarmed by the intelligence. On the 30th Rodil marched out at the head of all his troops, but had returned on being informed that Gomez had proceeded in the direction of Molina, after levying a contribution of 10,000 rations on Guadalaxara. " Three decrees of the 30th ult. direct the sale of the bells and furniture of the convents, the application of national pro perty to defray the expenses of the war, and a forced loan of 400 ,000,000 reals (20,000,0001. sterling), reimbursable in four years."---Moniteur of Sunday. Al. Martin du Nord has arrived in Paris, and will probably accept the Ministry which has been offered to him. "We have already said," observes La Paix, " that our reflections respecting the qualifications of M. Martin du Nord for the Department of C ommerce h a d b een m i sun d erstoo d . The majority of the Ch am b er h av i ng f a il e d i n present i ng candidates to the Ministry from amongst its great notabilities, we cannot but congratulate the present Ministers on having chosen for their colleague a mag i strate who, in the discharge of the functions of Attorney-General, rendered such important ser vices to the cause of ord er , and to whom the Chamber of De puties gave so brilliant a p roof of its esteem and confidence in electing him one of its four vice-presidents." The new Ambassador to Madrid is the Duke de Coigny, a near relation of General Seb astiani.—Journal du Commerce. It is rumoured that the Viscount Decaux is appointed Mi nister of War. It may be recollected that the Viscount held this office under Charles X.—Galignani's Messenger. The Duchess of Berry, who has had her usual accoucheur from Paris, is expecting to be brought to bed every day. A negotiation has been set on foot between the Court of Charles X. and the Duchess, to allow her to go to see her children • but this having failed, the Duchess demanded that i t n h g e , D ho u w ke: de Bordeaux might be sent to Gratz. The old King ever, refused this request also, alleging that the health of the young Prince was too delicate.—illessager. We have received intelligence from Madrid, of the date of' the 4th of September. It appears from these ac counts that insubordination is making the most alarming pr ogress i n the Spanish army. The Generals, publicly denounced in the Journals as traitors or incapable leaders, have no longer any influence over the Hoops, and one after the other abandon their commands. We have before us a copy of the Eco del Comercio, in which a bold demand is made that the Generals be condemned both for the reverses they might experience, and for the advantages they might neglect to obtain. General Manso, a soldier during the war of independence, and a pro scribed Constitutionalist of 1820, is d e p r ived of his post, and will, it is said, be impeached. General Motes, Commandant of the Army of the Centre, has resigned his functions, as well as a great number of other officers. General Oraa, who com mands ad interim the army of Navarre, also desires to retire, and Rodil is in no hurry to place himself at the head of that army. Mina, becoming every day more unwell, is about to return to the Pyrenees for the benefit of the waters. The sol diers of the Army of the Centre (Arragon and the frontier of Valencia) have expelled the greater part of their officers. Dis organization is, in fact, at its height. General Evaristo San Miguel, only lately considered a most exalted patriot, will expose himself to the risk of losing the confidence of this army, if he shows a disposition to re-establish discipline in its ranks. Quilez and Cabrera, who were lately before Al eaniz, will probably take advantage of this state of disor ganization to approach Tereul, Calatayud, or perhaps even Saragossa. No news is given in these accounts from Madrid respecting Gomez, who probably purposes to put himself in communication with Quilez and Cabrera, in order thereby to reach Navarre the more easily with the rich convoy and the recruits he is conducting to Don Carlos. He has, however, been obliged to abandon the two pieces of artillery which he captured on the :30th of August, but not without having first spiked them. A band of rebels from the province of Cuenca appeared before Arganda, seven leagues from Madrid, on the 2d instant. It appears from the details recently received re specting the disaster which befel Brigadier Lopez on the 30th, that the insubordination of his troops was the principal cause of his defeat. Lopez, knowing that Gomez was at the head of several columns, wished to wait his approach, instead of making the first attack; and with this view he occupied an ad vantageous position upon the heights, which were opposed to the enemy's progress. But Lopez, being taunted by his sol diers with being a pastelero and a traitor, was forced to de scend from his position to meet the insurgents. The Consti tutional troops, only from 1,200 to 1,500 men in number, had scarcely reached the foot of the heights when they were all at once charged and surrounded by the 5,000 men commanded by Gomez. Almost every one of the Constitutionalists fell, and Lopez perished with them. A few hours afterwards some other columns of the Queen's forces reached the field of car nage. A battalion of the Royal Guard was entirely destroyed and, had the unfortunate Lopez survived, he would perhaps at this very moment be subject to an impeachment.--Journal des Debats. PARIS, SEPT. 13.—The Ministerial journals are profoundly silent respecting the refusal of Marshal Soult, which we maintain to be certain. Neither do they say any thing of the ex-successor to Marshal Maison. Perhaps they may announce the nomination to the departments of War and Commerce•at the same time. The Journal Du Commerce and the National of 3d Sept. mentions Mr. Ed. Harcourt, Marshal Motelor, and General Guillemont as having been spoken of by different journals for the Embassy to Madrid.

The decrees of the 11th of September, 18 20, regu lating criminal procedure, and of the 28th of the same month, and 11th of May, 1821, respecting the arrest and imprisonment of Spaniards, and sentences of conciliation, are also to be on forced. Another decree revives that of the Cortes of the 12th of April, 1814, conferring upon the Political chiefs of the pro vinces the right of granting the consent which young men w i s hi ng to marry are to obtain from their parents. Lastly, the decree of the Cortes of the with of September, 1920, abolishing the majorats and entails, is revived. Also are restored the declarations respecting the abolition of entails, made by the Cortes on the 15th and 19th of May, 1821, and 19th of June of the same year.
